A Luxury Poolside Retreat in the Heart of Hawaii: Discover the Olakino Wellness Experience at Wailea Beach Resort, Maui

Nestled amidst the lush landscapes of Maui, the Wailea Beach Resort offers an unparalleled encounter with wellness through its Olakino Experience—an escape that awakens the senses and revitalizes the spirit. Here’s a detailed journey through my recent transformative retreat that could be your next perfect wellness getaway.

My day began with a refreshing shot of a healthy energy drink mixing carrot and ginger extracts. This invigorating start pumped enthusiasm into what would be a day filled with serenity and self-discovery.

One of the highlights was relaxing by the breathtaking infinity edge pool, which offers an expansive view of the Pacific Ocean. Imagine lounging poolside, the sun warming your skin, while the infinity pool seemingly spills over into the ocean—a perfect blend of luxury and nature.

To elevate my relaxation, I was treated to a cooling eye mask accompanied by a scented towel—an instant refresh that heightened my senses. But what truly set this experience apart was my very first sound bath. A sound bath, as I learned, is a meditative experience where those in attendance are "bathed" in sound waves produced by instruments like gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chanting, and other tools aimed at inducing relaxation and healing. These sonic vibrations helped ease my mind into a meditative state, allowing stress to melt away and offering a unique form of acoustic therapy that promotes emotional clarity and calmness.

No wellness experience is complete without savoring a meticulously prepared meal. For lunch, I delighted in a scrumptious goat cheese and beet salad, its flavors both earthy and vibrant, a reflection of the natural setting surrounding me. The afternoon was spent listening to the soothing melodies of a poolside guitarist, whose tunes perfectly complemented the tranquil ambiance.

As the warmth of the day gave way to a cooler afternoon, I was treated to a lilikoi sorbet served with fresh fruit—a sweet, cooling reprieve. Following this, I took a relaxing dip in the hot tub, allowing my muscles to unwind completely under the gentle jets of water.

The day concluded with an extraordinary sunset Sabrage ceremony—a fascinating ritual where a saber is used to open a champagne bottle, a practice that dates back to the age of Napoleon, who is said to have popularized it. Celebrating health and wellness, we toasted with champagne, marking a pristine end to a day of indulgence and renewal.

These guys made sure everyone was well taken care of during their poolside experience.
